Card Games. A fun way to teach math.

An interesting way of unconsciously teaching kids math is by playing cards. You don’t need to be a professional casino poker player to show them the ins and outs of card games. You only need lots of patience (both on your part and on theirs) and the know how! These types of games are perfect for 2-7 players so they can easily be adapted for home or classroom use. It’s a perfect way of including children who have learning difficulties with mathematics in the everyday functions of the classroom.

Es una manera perfecta para incluir a los niños que tienen dificultades con las matemáticas en las funciones diarias del aula.

Maths Activities for all the family to join in on!

Due to the current situation I think it’s a great time to take advantage of those LONG evenings together in family. What better way of filling in your days, keeping the kids entertained, Mammy and Daddy sane and making the best of a bad situation.
From personal experience, children with learning difficulties, especially maths, need to be inspired to achieve full participation when it comes to learning maths. Putting into use mathematical logic with entertaining ideas while cooking, washing up after dinner, organised card games or even loading the washing machine can be seen as opportunities to apply maths.

How? Here are some of the ideas which we’ve put into practise.
